Are you a technical expert and enthusiastic person who inspires others to create innovative solutions? Then we need your help in making ABN AMRO a personal bank in a digital age!  

One of our strategic goals is to become a data-driven organization so we can get to know our clients even more and serve them in a better way. As a chapter lead, you contribute to these goals by focussing on craftmanship within your department. You stay up-to-date on the latest developments and you mentor your team members in becoming technical experts. How are you going to shape craftmanship and innovation within your department?  

Our employees get the freedom to grow and experiment. You support and guide them so that they can grow their technical expertise that contribute to a future-proof bank. When and where you and your team do your work, that is up to you! We work hybrid, which means you can flexibly decide where and when you can work most comfortable and effectively.

• Mentoring your Chapter members on technical craftsmanship.  
• Actively participating in knowledge gaining and sharing by joining triangles, circles, communities and events. Furthermore, focus on proper knowledge dissemination across the teams, pushing the limits of our technology and focussing on holistic solutions.   
• Proper alignment with stakeholders. For example, informing leadership on the alignment you have with the Solution Engineer on the technological landscape and lifecycle. Furthermore you ensure a current stack and room for innovation on the backlog by discussing this with the Product Owners.  
• Working in a DevOps environment and advocating the Agile and CICD processes.  
• On a strategical level you mentor your team, evaluate technical assessments, do interviews and ensure that new employees are properly onboarded.  
• Take care of the HR processes to facilitate all aspects relating to the influx, development, performance and outflux of employees.  
• Create and foster a healthy working environment and an inclusive culture for your Chapter.
